I can't change the text of a linkbutton that is placed in a repeater. I want the text to change when I click the button.
<asp:Repeater ID="rptSearch" runat="server" >
<HeaderTemplate >
<table border="1" width="100%">
<tr>
<th>
Bild
</th>
<th>
<asp:LinkButton ForeColor="Blue" Text="Visa billig" OnClick="SortList" EnableViewState="true"
ID="lkbSort" runat="server"></asp:LinkButton>
</th>
</tr>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate >
<tr>
<td>
<asp:Image BorderStyle="Solid" BorderColor="#ff7200" BorderWidth="1px" runat="server" ID="imgBild" ImageUrl='<%# imageURL(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "fldImageID")) %>' />
</td>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
</table>
</FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
I have tried with th OnClick event, doesnt work.
Sub SortList(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim a As System.Web.UI.WebControls.LinkButton = sender
If a.Text = "Visa billig" Then
a.Text = "Visa ny"
ElseIf a.Text = "Visa ny" Then
a.Text = "Visa billig"
End If
ShowSearch()
End Sub
Have also tried these events, rptSearch_ItemCreated and rptSearch_ItemDataBound, but the text just changes one time. I see when I debug that the linkbutton's text is still "Visa billig", but shows "Visa ny"
Protected Sub rptSearch_ItemCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterItemEventArgs) Handles rptSearch.ItemCreated
If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Header Then
'this is one way
Dim lnk As LinkButton = CType(e.Item.FindControl("lkbSort"), LinkButton)
If IsNothing(lnk) Then
Exit Sub
End If
If lnk.Text = "Visa billig" Then
lnk.Text = "Visa ny"
ElseIf lnk.Text = "Visa ny" Then
lnk.Text = "Visa billig"
End If
End If
End Sub
I am new to asp.net but I think it may have to do with postback's. And I have tried to use findControl in page_load to change the linkbutton's text, but the linkbutton isn't found.
If rptSearch.Items.Count > 0 Then
Dim lkbSort As LinkButton = CType(rptSearch.FindControl("lkbSort"), LinkButton)
If Not IsNothing(lkbSort) Then
lkbSort.Text = ViewState("Change")
End If
End If
PLEASE HELP
Thanks
